Flat America has been very fortunate to have obtained a large collection of original photogravure art prints from the "Galaxy of Art" collection originally published in 1894. The Images were printed on a heavy card stock/cotton style of paper. Photogravure plates were used for this collection. Photogravure is a highly unique, labor intensive and rarely used form of printing from an intaglio plate etched according to a photographic image. It produces high detail and  an array of tones that is unique to this process producing outstanding results. The images have been meticulously preserved and cared for since their origin in 1894. We have provided detailed scans in an attempt to give you an accurate feel of the quality of the imagery that the printers & original artists have provided but in most cases the scans don’t do justice to the original prints. These 113+ year old prints are an amazing example of the craftsmanship, effort & preservation of many talented & caring people. They were produced for your enjoyment and would look stunning preserved in a frame, adorning a special place in your home. To view other prints from this collection simply type 1894 in the search box in the upper left corner at our Ebay store.
